Ann Arbor — Even his fellow Michigan football teammates think Ben Mason is more about football than anyone else.
Mason, with his intimidating mohawk and physique, is preparing for his junior season at a new position. He was a fullback last season and now — although running the ball isn’t completely ruled out — he has moved to defensive tackle.
Wherever he plays, though, Mason looks the part.
“When you classify a football player, you look up a football player, I’m pretty sure Ben Mason’s face is coming up in any Google search you do,” defensive tackle Carlo Kemp said recently.
